Tonight we set up a 403b plan with a financial planner. We also picked out life insurance, did a cash flow analysis, made a financial plan and talked about creating living wills.
One question, lovelies,
WHEN DID WE GROW UP??
Well, I mean, I guess when this guy came along...
..but still.
A little over a year ago we were eating junk food for dinner and would actually spend our extra money on ourselves. We didn't do laundry but once a week, and if we would rather go out than clean the house we did.
Tonight, I came home from work, ran the sweeper, moped the floors made a dinner of grilled chicken, baked sweet potatoes, corn and salad. We ate dinner, I did dishes and a load of laundry and then we sat down with a lady in a power suit and talked about mutual funds and aggressive vs conservative investments.
I feel old and responsible.
So now that the baby is asleep I will put my feet up on the couch, eat a bowl of ice cream and watch American Idol. Because a person can only take so much responsibility in a day.
It's a weird feeling when you realize you've grown up isn't it? LOL

I hate that grown up feeling you get sometimes, same goes for the times when I just want my Mommy. Good for you guys though for dealing with the stuff that no one wants to think about such as a living will.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the grown up stuff! You deserve that ice cream and relaxation! Thanks for the follow, I am now following back and can't wait to read more.

Just wanted to say hi, stopping by from Feed Me Friday Bloghop
ReplyDeleteOk I love this post. Right now I'm still in the we-do-what-we-want phase but working on moving up to the we-wake-up-with-babies phase. And I'm really hoping that my wifey skills will magically become amazing when that happens, even though I know it won't. But still... look at you all grown up :) Love your blog!! New follower :)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh! I just found your blog by following some stuff from Pinterest and it was love at first sight! I just started my own blog yesterday, still very much in the baby stage, but loving it!

My husband and I are in the midst of all those grown up discussions, including buying a house in the mix and I feel so old! Thanks for posting about it :) Makes me realise other people are in the same mix!
Keep up the great work, loving your blog!
